Merdeka: remain united, beat unscrupulous politicians in their political game

EVERY time a political leader glorifies Malaysia, they will talk about how “rich” the country is due to its diverse population.

They will describe Malaysia as the melting pot of culture, tradition, language, race and religion.

But look a little deeper, and we see the same politician somersaulting to pit us against each other using race and religion as a compelling narrative.

The play of race and religion on politics was the signature of the Umno administration, a cleverly manipulated rhetoric to keep us divided. And today, we are still seeing the consequences on the ground.

It’s our 66th Merdeka come August 31, and unlike the yesteryears, I hardly see any enthusiasm in Malaysians flying the Jalur Gemilang.

There is much friction and hostility amongst the diverse people who make up the society. And I see the potential of such animosity escalating, with the reason being multi-factorial – from the lacklustre economy and diminishing purchasing power to political grievances.
